# The Gillard Government’s ‘Fair Work Australia’ Act was implemented on January 1, 2010,
replacing the Howard Government’s ‘Work Choices’ Legislation.
Gary Morgan says:
“The December 2010 Roy Morgan employment estimates show unemployment jumping 88,000 to 903,000 (7.7%, up 0.8%) as school leavers 'hit' the workforce — the fourth consecutive monthly rise in unemployment, now at its highest since February 2010 (907,000). Australian underemployment has also jumped 216,000 to 1,028,000 (8.8%, up 2.0%) — its highest since Roy Morgan began measuring underemployment monthly in October 2008.
“These increases mean total Australian unemployment and underemployment (1,931,000, up 304,000) is now at its highest in the four years Roy Morgan has reported on this figure. The rise in unemployment has been driven by a steep fall in Australia’s full-time employment (down 255,000 to 7,350,000) while part-time employment has fallen only slightly to 3,459,000 (down 16,000). These falls in employment have driven both full-time unemployment (502,000, up 37,000) and part-time unemployment (401,000, up 51,000) to their highest levels since early in 2010.
“The trend of these figures — particularly the fourth straight monthly rise in unemployment — suggest the RBA’s interest rate increases during 2010 have slowed the Australian economy, which is backed up by the GDP figures for the September 2010 Quarter which showed only 0.2% growth. Also, today’s results from the Advantage Job Index showing December job ads with the worst monthly fall for 18 months are another indicator pointing to a softer jobs market than many had expected.”
This Roy Morgan survey on Australia’s unemployment and ‘underemployed’* is based on weekly interviews covering January 2007 — December 2010 and in total 207,313 Australians aged 14 and over were interviewed face-to-face including 4,137 interviews in December 2010.
*The ‘underemployed’ are those people who are in part-time work or consultants who are looking for more work. (Unfortunately the ABS does not measure this figure in their monthly unemployment survey.)

The Roy Morgan Unemployment estimate is obtained by surveying an Australia-wide cross section by face-to-face interviews. An unemployed person is classified as part of the labour force if they are looking for work, no matter when. The results are not seasonally adjusted and provide an accurate measure of monthly unemployment estimates in Australia.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics Unemployment estimates are obtained by mostly telephone interviews. Households selected for the ABS Survey are interviewed each month for eight months, with one-eighth of the sample being replaced each month. The first interview is conducted face-to-face. Subsequent interviews are then conducted by telephone.
The ABS classifies an unemployed person as part of the labour force only if, when surveyed, they have been actively looking for work in the four weeks up to the end of the reference week and if they were available for work in the reference week.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics Unemployment estimates are also seasonally adjusted.
For these reasons the Australian Bureau of Statistics Unemployment estimates are different from the Roy Morgan Unemployment estimate.
Gary Morgan's concerns regarding the ABS Unemployment estimate is clearly outlined in his letter to the Australian Financial Review, which was not published!
